Re: 1960 Front End Swap
welcome from San Jo. Just a thought bro,it would be a lot easier to swap out the front cross member .
A newer 1963 to 1969 if you want to keep it drums. or 1970 1987 if you want to get disc,power steering. They will bolt on with a few mods. also is yours a stick or auto trans?

Re: 1960 Front End Swap
I would think real hard ablut dumping the torsion bar front. I lke them, you can lower it up to 4" by simply adjusting the bars. Ride quality is great and Discs and PS can be added if you really want. Think ablut it.
